Sarah Ferguson reacts to losing her Duchess of York title as she vows to 'always support' ex-husband Prince Andrew - and insiders claim it 'won't make a difference' to her.
Sarah Ferguson has lost her precious royal title after her ex-husband Prince Andrew agreed to give up his own on Friday - but insiders claim it 'won't make a difference' to her.
The former Duchess of York, as she has been known for the past 40 years, reportedly seems unfazed by the new change and she is apparently comfortable with her ex husband's decision.
'She will always support her former husband's decisions and do anything for the King. For her this will not make a big difference,' a source told HELLO! Magazine.
The prince's decision was made after strong pressure from King Charles and in discussion with other family members, including Prince William, as heir to the throne, as well as Andrew's other siblings, Princess Anne and Prince Edward.
Fergie - who only received her royal title through her marriage in 1986 - will now be known as plain Sarah Ferguson in any official capacities.
Her Duchess of York title was the only connection to the Royal Family Fergie had retained after she divorced Andrew in 1996 and ceased being a Royal Highness.
Despite their divorce, the couple have continued to live together and they will remain at the lavish 30-bedroom Royal Lodge at Windsor despite tonight's announcement.
Andrew will also relinquish his position as Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victoria Order and his Order of the Garter.
However Andrew has retained his title as prince having been born the son of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
And his and Fergie's children, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, will also retain their titles thanks to their grandmother.
The former husband and wife will no longer be able to use their titles following intense public scrutiny on the pair regarding their former relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Buckingham Palace issued a statement on the prince's behalf, where he made clear he continued to deny allegations of sexual assault made against him by the late Virginia Giuffre, who he met through paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
But he conceded continued revelations about his dealings with Epstein, as reported by The Mail on Sunday, were a 'distraction' from the good work of the Royal Family.
Fergie's own relationship with Epstein has also come under scrutiny after a newly uncovered email from 2011 revealed that she called the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein a 'supreme friend'.
Since the email, which also included a private apology for Fergie's public rejection of Epstein, was made public multiple charities dropped the duchess as a patron.
This is just the most recent headline grabbing controversy involving the former Duchess of York.
